Ionic Bonding Study Guide

This document provides a study guide on ionic bonding. It defines key terms like metals, nonmetals, polyatomic ions, and ionic bonds. When an ionic bond forms, metals lose electrons to become positively charged cations while nonmetals gain electrons. Ionic bonds form crystalline solids with high melting/boiling points that are soluble in water but not organic solvents and conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water.

UNIT 6 STUDY GUIDE - IONIC BONDING

1. How do you find a metal on the Periodic Table? Metals are located on the left of
the periodic table.
2. How do you find a nonmetal on the Periodic Table? Nonmetals are located on
the upper right. Metals and nonmetals are separated by a diagonal band of
semimetals.
3. How do you find the charge of an element that is located anywhere but the
section of transition metals? You have to consider what element it is, the charges
on the other atoms in the molecule, and the net charge on the molecule itself.
The charges are always whole numbers, and the sum of all the atomic charges
equals the charge on the molecule.
4. Where do you identify a metal that has more than one charge when you look at
the name of the compound? If it has Roman numbers.
5. What is a polyatomic ion? An ion that contains more than one atom.
6. How do you know the name of a polyatomic ion? Combine the name of the
cation and the name of the anion.
7. What is the definition of an ionic bond? Type of linkage formed from the
electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical
compound.
8. What is happening to the electrons of the metal when an ionic bond is formed?
The metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation.
9. What is happening to the electrons of the nonmetal when an ionic bond is
formed? The nonmetal gains electrons.
10. List 4 properties of ionic bonds. They are usually crystalline solids. They have
high melting points and high boiling points. They are usually soluble in water but
insoluble in organic solvents. They conduct electricity when dissolved in water or
when melted.
